Glock Gen 5 ... I got mine!

[Fordtough25]

We haven't found a holster that wouldn't work with the 17M yet. Some of them start out rough due to the sights but they break in quickly. I can see where a snug kydex holster might not like the ambi slide stop though.The FBI sights on the 17M and the bright orange sights available on the Gen5 pistols aren't the same. The FBI sights aren't available for purchase, the only way to get them is to buy a 17M/19M and the only way to buy those is to be a gov't agency. It's stupid and I don't like it.

Most of my holsters are fine but I noticed the ambi slide release trying to fit where the holster wasn't designed for it. Mainly my Kydex iwb holsters, it still "works" but I may sand down the inside of the holsters in question for a better fit.

out here in Facebook land with the rest of us, lolI haven't seen him post anything on it though

Fancy! Not cool enough to be his "real" friend so Facebook is out but maybe you can poke him. Seems like glock has fixed everything he didn't like about his gen3. I saw the new g19 sized M&p last night as well but meh!!!

The 3 dot tritium is too busy for me in low light conditions.

A little touch with a permanent marker will make them near invisible until they are needed, and when they are needed the front will be brighter than the rear. That's what I did with my factory Siglight 3 dots until replacement.

I do have the ameriglo hackathorn sights on my g43 though and they work well. 3 dots are my go to though.

Have the Hacks on my 43 and 19, love them.

FBI sights = Ameriglo BOLD.

Close, but not quite. The FBI has a U-Notch and the Bold has a square notch in the rear sight.

 

[dave29]

Ameriglo "FBI-style" sights? Link, please (just curious)...

They aren't on Ameriglo's site. You have to call and order. You can check out the Glock section on ARF to see the difference between the FBI and Bold. Ameriglo cannot sell the Bold anymore, it is now a Glock exclusive. You can still order the FBI sights from Ameriglo.

Yep, I called and we can buy them.

What a fantastic idea. I'll give that a shot.

Just put 200 rds through my G19 today. Smoothest shooting Glock out of the box I've ever owned. Love it.

If he wants to be the "first" to put a bunch of rounds through one he's gonna have to do better than 750 rounds a week. We've got more than one 17M with 6k+ and at least one Gen5 G19 with 2k already.

I'm not a huge Yeager fan but at least he can recognize the difference between the Gen5 trigger and previous generations. Not all of the "experts" have been able to.

I scored a G19 G5 and have about 400 rounds through it so far. I'm an avid Glock fan who always works the triggers with either polish or drop ins out of necessity. However, this Gen 5 trigger is legit and I'm digging this gun. It just replaced my G19 Gen 4 MOS with RMR...until I get it milled for an optic. But it still needs new sights.

I just handled a 19 and 17 at Cabela's. I'm impressed and definitely want them both.

Did the cut out bother your pinky?

 

[phylodog]

I'd be surprised if someone doesn't release mag floor plates that fill in the cut out within the next two weeks.

I was gonna cut a piece of plastic from a glock basepad or similar plastic and properly form it to fit the gap and then permanently glue it . With the magazine lip you will still be able to rip,the mag out if you had to, or maybe with experimentation the gap,could be lessened by this means. Gives me something to **** with

I shouldn't, I've been doing that to mine for ages



yeah, it's uneven in the pic, cleaned it up after this pic was taken

 

[Trigger Time]

The cutout to me if it bothers me is telling me to not grip so hard with the pinky anyways.
